What is the advantage of the side tilt? I needed a slider and went with a Pullrite SuperGlide with is only 2 way tilt.
Your pullrite is also a 4 way. Left, right, front, & back. Which is really a 2 axis tilt. If you were to stand in your truck bed and place your hands on either side of the fifth wheel plate, you can rock it left to right. Some models of fifth wheel hitches and your 18 wheelers don't rock left to right. This is not a big deal for the big trucks because they travel on roads built to certain standards 99% of the time. For us campers we have to traverse some non level territory a little more often getting into campsites.
If the trailer tilts to the side while the truck is still on level ground (think backing into a campsite that is higher than the road) and the plate is rigidly mounted left to right you would either twist the frame of the camper or lift the tire of the towing vehicle off the road.
